If you get kittens, then raise them alongside to play with the birds when they're young while keeping a good eye on them, as birds can catch disease from cats.

They will see the birds as a part of their social structure instead of prey.

My girlfriend had cats and birds, and the cat was raised alongside the birds since it was a kitten. It never hurt the birds, even as her tiel would groom the cat's whiskers. It still hunted mice and rats though.

We have two conures who used to sleep in their happy hut next to our bed, but one night they came out, with one snuggling against my face and the other snugging under my chin. Fortunately they were't squished and I managed to wake up and put them back.

Even if they sleep in a separate bed, put it away from where you sleep. Birdies sleep on top of the cage in their hut, or in a sock drawer now.
